Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Hand-drawn ink illustration, in queasy green and purplish color. Showing a mass of flesh rising up to a starlit night sky. A face with hollowed out black eyes and protruding spiky melty flesh, with double rows of teeth in it's gaping open mouth. Behind it a human face smothered in tendrils swallowing a thick mass of bulbous flesh.

This is nightmarish and every Dem politician, every media figure who is silent is complicit. This is not supposed to happen here. Masked thugs with guns dragging moms away in front of their screaming children. Trump’s government must be destroyed and his accomplices must rot in prison

Been said before, but their shamelessness really is their super-power. They have absolutely no qualms (or perhaps no awareness) about being blatant hypocrites.

I miss those brief days during the Harris campaign when we realized what really riles up the GOP is when they’re pitied and mocked, not when they’re hated. They desperately want to be bullies, either admired or feared for that stature. When they’re just a joke, it really bothers them.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

One (big) part of me is like, "Fuck these idiots. They knew better the whole time!" but another part realizes we need these sorts of idiots to eventually come out against Trump to have a chance to stop the giant shit ball rolling toward us.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

I think the biggest disconnect has not been in what Trump has done or tried to do, but in how much industry and media have capitulated to him.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

I think his depiction of alternative universe Auggie hints that it’s not a utopia for white people, either. It is pretty shallow still, but I think he does acknowledge it.

Blue states need to really start thinking about investing in parallel non-federalized infrastructure. Because there’s a real chance, if the fascists continue to amp up their war against the states that those infrastructure systems are intentionally targeted to cause pain.
